Fri, 13 Sep 2019 20:41:03 GMTStiga posted the following picture on their Facebook page along with the following statement:

"The last decade there has been a decline in movement and exercise among the Swedish youth. Physical inactivity is considered one of the four biggest risks of mortality across the globe and obesity among children is increasing. We want to change that, and together with @hm and @gen.pep we will make that happen."Seems like it will be a youth program taken place in Sweden sponsored by Stiga and H&M rather than a commercial collaboration.

Fri, 13 Sep 2019 19:48:32 GMTI chose the delivery option which doesn't have tracking so I don't know the progress of the shipment. I though I would at least get an estimated arrival date for my stuff, possibly from an confirmation email after the purchase. But I didn't so I just want to know how long did it take for Thorntons to deliver products to you so that I can extrapolate(of frankly just guessing for the lack of a better option now) the time they need to do it for me.
BTW. The they are shipping to the south part of England give or take.

Megaspin and Revspin provide lists and charts but they don't really provide filters where one can put in a range for different categories of ratings.

I have a question - since few years ago, double hit is allowed stroke, so if you hit the ball with the finger then rubber and the ball lands on the table, everything is ok. So the double hit is legal.
But - I got a teammate with like really shaky hands..
And he made unwanted double hit in the match this Tuesday, I would like your opinion on this, was it legal or not? :D
I have a video, the double hit is made at 0:45, so just let me know what you think and why..
Thank you! ;-)

Recently I bought some offered 4 for 3 price at tabletennis11. The first lot (4) quality was not consistent. I thought it was probably due to my bad installation. I gave 1 to my friend and asked him to put it on my blade. Same issue! It felt like air bubbles existed. I tried to boost it with Dianchi then I was able to play for a week. Only after a week then the problem came back. Last week I bought 4 for 3 offer again. Now I asked a pro to put it on for me. Still same issue happened last night.

I wonder if anyone experienced the same or could anyone explain to me what went wrong?

Looking to try something which is a bit harder but still relatively light. I currently have Xiom Vega Europe 2.0 on both sides but although I use a lot of spin on the BH I don't loop at all and most of my FH hitting has less spin than my BH. If I'm playing against loop, I always block. Although I like Vega Europe I'm looking to try something which is a little bit faster and slightly lower throw as my FH push is not as good as my BH and often with Vega Europe it pops up a bit high.

In the recent No.1 Senso blade review with Dimitrij Ovtcharov, I took on Dimitrij's serves, first to 10 points to see how good they really are! All I had to do was return the serve on the table to win the point!

Be sure to watch the full video with Dimitrij Ovtcharov here.

I started with 38mm balls, then to 40mm balls, then now they have these new 40+ balls, which bounce off the table randomly, and is somewhat heavier. It's harder for me to play because I always only spin the ball back with a quick and thin contact. If I do that today from afar the table, the ball goes into the net so easily, as it feels like it's heavier. I am still using my old blade though. How did you guys adjust yourself actually?

Mon, 09 Sep 2019 13:06:32 GMTIn returning to play TT after many years away, it's unbelievable how much has changed with availability of blades and rubbers. After 37 year absence, and now being 66 years old, I had these questions. Are my reflexes sufficient to still play? Can my body take the physical demand?

In my first time playing since the 1980's, two months ago, I played at a local club, and played at best okay with an old paddle, an old rubber club rental. I still had good enough reflexes to play. Step two was purchasing a $20 Stiga combo paddle from a local sports store. I played a little better but after a couple of weeks of play, and continued reading here, online, and watching YouTube videos, I realized I had gone from a ratty club paddle, to a mushy mass produced recreational setup, a small improvement.

I saw fairly rapid improvements in my game, and then I reached a peak. I noticed when using my mushy, mass-produced inexpensive Stiga how I had to hit the ball harder than others. And I still did not know the type of paddle to buy and rubber to add. So the decision was made, I know to the angst to some here, to purchase a used combo racquet on eBay, that would be inexpensive. The key for me was finding the right circumstance.

I purchased a Sanwei Fextra paddle with MX-P on both sides. The seller had purchased it for his daughter a couple of month ago, it had very little play and he now wanted to sell it. After the exchange of several emails, I made the purchase. The logic on the Fextra was that it was all round blade and not a faster carbon blade and would be a good blade for me at my stage of play. The Tibhar MX-P reviews were favorable and I thought a good mix. The combo arrived just as described and both the paddle and rubbers were in excellent condition.

So here's where I am asking for advice. What critique does one use on a back-up or second setup? Does one purchase a different setup to work on different parts of one's game or closely resembling, or identical to the first setup? Does one use one setup for certain players and a different one for others? Is the back-up setup significantly different or similar from the primary setup?

I realize these questions are more related to players like myself entering or re-entering game, and making larger improvements rather than accomplished players making smaller incremental advancements.

These guys were playing at a higher level with the 40 celluloid ball.

Sorry for the similar posts guys this will be my last one regarding the topic. I am planning on buying new rubbers next week before the season starts in a couple of weeks. Im currently alternating between the Boll Spirit and Boll ALC and like Tenergy 05 on my forehand but want a more allround controlled rubber on BH which is somewhat similar to T05fx. I like 05fx for looping but struggle with blocking heavy topsin shots and punching through the ball. IM leaning towards Rakza 7 and Xiom Vega Europe (not sure what thickness yet) but if there are any alternatives you can reccommend that would be greatly apprecaited. ;)

THanks

Sat, 07 Sep 2019 02:58:45 GMTHi, are there any good videos that show Ma Lin's serving form and mechanics?

Most of the slow motion analysis videos only show his 'ghost-serve', and I'm wondering if there are any other resources I could refer to for improving my serves as a penholder.
